Dazai's girlfriend Natsume

The full-grained rice is poured with brightly colored curry, red like flowing lava, as if it will burn at any time.However--

"Fortunately, it's not very spicy."

Hearing the evaluation of the red-brown-haired youth, Natsume Takashi sincerely felt that the taste of this "Oda Sakunosuke" is really unique.

But Natsume Takashi didn't say much, just said: "Next time, I will ask Auntie Toko to add more spice."

"Thank you." Oda Sakunosuke said: "My injury is almost healed, and I can find a solution with you."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Oda-san." Natsume Takashi responded, with a hint of concern for Natsume Chiaya showing on his face.

"Trouble? What's the trouble?" Mr. Cat put it on Natsume Takashi's hand, and said coldly: "In the first place, Qianling was swapped with you. If something happened to Qianling because of you..."

Mr. Cat’s usually funny and cute eyes narrowed, and his pupils turned into a cold dark green. He licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue, and said, “I guess people in different worlds have different tastes.”

"Cat teacher!"

However, in the next second, Natsume Takashi's fist hit Mr. Cat on the head: "You can't be so rude."

Teacher Cat covered the bulge on the top of her head, and angrily patted the ground with her small paws: "Natsume! Qian Ling has been missing for more than a week!"

The monsters rummaged through the entire Yahara day and night, and they didn't even see a hair of Natsume Chiaya.

Except for this man named "Oda Sakunosuke" from another world, they have no clues.

Oda Sakunosuke did not hide his situation, and introduced the situation of the world he was in very clearly.

It is precisely because of this that Natsume Takashi is particularly worried.If Qian Ling fell into that dangerous world, Natsume Takashi couldn't imagine what would happen to her.You know, when Oda Sakunosuke first came here, his body was full of gunshot wounds!If it weren't for the help of the monsters, he might not be able to help Oda Sakunosuke heal the wound.

Natsume Takashi didn't dare to take Oda Sakunosuke home covered in blood, so he could only let Oda Sakunosuke live with the monsters temporarily.Oda Sakunosuke accepted this well, and even thanked him sincerely.Until today, Oda Sakunosuke's injury was almost healed, and Natsume Takashi invited him to come over for a detailed discussion.

As for Natsume Chiaya's disappearance, Natsume Takashi told Fujiwara Toko and Fujiwara Shigeru that she went to stay at the house of her friend Doguto.In this regard, Fujiwara Toko said a few words.

He and Qian Ling have not confessed to Aunt Tako and Uncle Zi about the monster world so far.In the past, I was afraid of being regarded as a lie or hated, but later I didn't want them to worry.

However, Qian Ling hasn't come back yet, Natsume Takashi doesn't know how to continue to hide Aunt Tako and Uncle Zi.

Oda Sakunosuke: "Sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, Mr. Oda." Natsume Takashi shook his head: "This is not something you can decide." Even Natsume Chiaya would not anger Oda Sakunosuke because of this, he knew it very well.

Even so, Natsume Takashi couldn't help but feel worried.Even if Qian Ling's force value is not bad, but the world where Oda Sakunosuke is, there are "supernatural beings", "cursed spirits" and so on, can Qian Ling handle it?

Oda Sakunosuke did not continue talking, and ate curry in silence.He wondered in a daze, and didn't know what happened to Dazai after he died?

Suddenly, the window was knocked, Intermediate A and Intermediate B lay on the window sill, shouting excitedly: "Master Natsume, we have new news!"

"News, news!"

Natsume Takashi stood up suddenly: "What news?"

"Didn't this human come from another world?" Intermediate A said, "We found out that there is a big monster that can break the boundaries of time and space. Maybe we can help find Lord Qian Ling."

Natsume Takashi asked eagerly, "What monster is it? Where is it?"

Natsume Takashi, whose mind was completely occupied by this news, didn't notice that Mr. Cat's ears folded.

"This..." Intermediate A hesitated: "I didn't find out. It is said that he will travel everywhere."

Natsume Takashi pursed his lips, this is the only news so far.He quickly made a decision: "I'm going to find that monster."

Oda Sakunosuke took the initiative: "Then I will go with Mr. Natsume."

"I said, you..."

At the beginning of Mr. Cat’s words, Natsume Takashi hurriedly opened the door and went out: "Thank you, intermediate. If you have any other news in the future, please let me know. I will tell Uncle Zi and Aunt Tako that I am going on a long trip .”

"Idiot..." Teacher Cat murmured.That guy hasn't shown up for a long time.Maybe, he was already dead.

Oda Sakunosuke heard Mr. Kitty's slight sigh, and couldn't help but glance at Mr. Kitty.Mr. Cat gave Oda Sakunosuke a hard look: "What are you looking at? You'd better pray that Qian Ling is fine!"

"Really, these two guys are more worried than the other."

The cat teacher said brokenly: "If I knew this, I shouldn't let them return the name. Reiko is also the same. If this kind of thing is not kept well, why did they find it out?"

It is clearly a complaint, but it is not difficult to hear the hidden concern in it.

Oda Sakunosuke put down the spoon, and seriously promised Mr. Cat: "I will definitely help."

"..."

Toko Fujiwara was not at home, and when Takashi Natsume went downstairs, he only saw Shigeru Fujiwara.

"What's the matter? Kishi-kun, you're in such a panic." Shigeru Fujiwara patted the chair next to him: "Sit down and talk?"

"Uncle Zi, I..." Natsume Takashi hesitated, and began to think about how to speak.

Seeing this, Shigeru Fujiwara smiled and said, "Is it because I haven't figured out what to say about the graduation trip?"

"What?" Natsume Takashi unconsciously opened his eyes and stuttered: "What, graduation, travel?"

Shigeru Fujiwara didn't seem to notice his surprise, stood up, patted Takashi Natsume on the shoulder, and said, "Well, I received a call from Chiya-chan. She said that she wanted to go on a graduation trip with you. I was negligent , at your age, you really should have a graduation trip."

"Uncle Zi..." Natsume Takashi suddenly came to his senses, and his final voice gradually trembled.If the family could be contacted, how could Qianling only call Uncle Zi without telling him?

Shigeru Fujiwara pressed Natsume Takashi's shoulder, and his gentle smile was as tolerant and lenient as ever: "Don't worry, I will tell Toko about this matter, remember to take some scenery photos for us to see when you have time."

Takashi Natsume pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, feeling his eyes warm up: "I know!"

"Go and pack your things," Fujiwara Shigetsu paused, and said slowly and solemnly: "Kizhi-kun, pay attention to safety on the road, and come back safely."

"Yeah!" Natsume Takashi nodded vigorously: "I will, don't worry Uncle Zi."

"..."

"How about it?"

Natsume Chiaya asked.She saw Osamu Dazai blink his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he gave the answer.The usually casual voice was rare and serious, and it melted into the steam rising from the curry bowl.

"Too spicy," he said.

Natsume Chiaya inexplicably felt that there was something she didn't understand in this sentence.She pushed the water that had been prepared earlier, and said in a warm voice: "Drink some water and relax. If you are really not used to it, let's eat crab meat dishes."

At the same time, Natsume Chiaya silently decided that if Osamu Dazai still came to eat, she would temporarily kick curry out of the recipe.

Osamu Dazai's seriousness lasted less than a minute. He stuffed his mouth full of crab meat and complained: "Didn't Chiya-chan say that you'll treat me to fried tempura next time? I've seen the tempura in the refrigerator." Fura powder, I thought there would be crab meat tempura."

"It was for Mr. Ranpo to make fried shrimp tempura. I promised Mr. Ranpo when I was on a business trip before." At the same time, as Edogawa Ranpo, he also wrote autographs to Mori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko as a thank you gift.

"I see." Osamu Dazai drawled his voice slowly, "What about mine?"

"Isn't yours already in front of you?" Natsume Qianling said helplessly, "With so much crab meat, I've spent a lot of my salary this month, Mr. Dazai."

Osamu Dazai was not at all ashamed of "eating soft rice", and said, "It's okay, it's okay~ Anyway, Chiya-chan has become a full-time member, and her salary will also increase~"

"A regular member..." Natsume Chiya still has a somewhat unreal feeling: "Armed detective agency's entrance test is always so unexpected?"

"It's about the same. After all, if you let you know in advance, it's not a test."

"That's right." Natsume Chiaya asked curiously, "So, what is Mr. Dazai's admission test like?"

Osamu Dazai recalled, and said: "Well, just solve the case in a normal way, catch the criminal in a normal way, and bring the criminal to death in a normal way—cough, bring him to justice."

Listening to his series of "ordinary", Natsume Chiaya was a little dumbfounded: "If Mr. Dazai didn't add these 'ordinary', maybe I would still believe that things are really that ordinary."

But she didn't go any further, she just got up and said, "It's not early, Mr. Dazai, go back after eating. Here, here is brown sugar ginger soup, remember to drink a bowl, in case the crab meat is too cold. I will clean up the kitchen and prepare for tomorrow morning." Materials for frying tempura for Mr. Ranpo."

"Qianya-chan is surprisingly not very curious." Dazai Osamu propped his chin with one hand, looked sideways at her, and said.

"Probably because, if Mr. Dazai wants to speak, he will naturally speak. If he doesn't want to speak, there is nothing to ask?" Natsume Chiaya smiled slightly: "Anyway, good night, Mr. Dazai."

"Good night, Qianya-chan."

Dazai Osamu came out of Natsume Chiaya's dormitory, staring at the small matchbox in his palm, smiling at the figure wearing the top hat and the curved word "Lupin".Osamu Dazai didn't smile, he folded his fingers and wrapped the matchbox, as if talking to himself, he repeated again: "It's too spicy."

The voice was very soft, floating in the moonlight of the night, like a faint sigh.

"..."

"The number you dialed is empty..."

Natsume Chiaya put away her phone, buried her head in the pillow, and thought quietly, if she had known, maybe at least she should have carried the doll her brother gave her in her shoulder bag.
